[Edit this paragraph] A brief history of Moutai.
Kweichow Moutai is produced in Maotai Town, renhuai city, Guizhou Province, China. One of the three major distilled spirits, which are equally famous with Scotch whisky and French cognac, is the originator of Daqu Maotai-flavor liquor.
Place name-Maotai Town
Maotai town
Maotai Town is located on the Chishui River in renhuai city, surrounded by mountains. The dangerous situation is the throat of land and water transportation in Sichuan and Guizhou. Located in the northwest of Guizhou Plateau, on the north side of the western section of the mountain range, near the historic city of Zunyi, north and south of Sichuan. Chishui River runs through the whole territory, and Ren Lin, Mao Dan, Maoxi and Zunmao highways meet here. It is an important hub connecting Sichuan and Guizhou, and a channel connecting Zunyi, a famous historical city, and Chishui, a national scenic spot. The total area of the town is 87.2 square kilometers, the urban area is 1.7 square kilometers, and the total population is 42,000 (urban population 1.6 million). Maotai Town has always been a famous town in northern Guizhou. In ancient times, there was a prosperous portrayal of "Sichuan salt returned to Guizhou and Qin merchants gathered in Maotai". The liquor industry in this area is booming. Maotai won the gold medal of Panama World Expo in 19 15, and Maotai Town became famous all over the world. 1935 The Chinese Red Army of Workers and Peasants crossed Chishui in Maotai on the Long March and wrote magnificent poems in the revolutionary history of China. Maotai Town, known as "the first wine town in China", is the hometown of Moutai, which combines the ancient salt culture, the splendid Long March culture and the mysterious wine culture.
The average altitude is 880m, the annual average temperature is 16.3 degrees Celsius, the annual sunshine hours are 1400 hours, the frost-free period is 31/day, and the annual rainfall is 800-1000 mm.
Since the end of last century, the gross domestic product (GDP) of Maotai Town reached 654.38+658 million yuan in 2003, the total industrial and agricultural output value reached 654.38+600 million yuan in 2003, and the town-level fiscal revenue reached 22.6 million yuan in 2003, an increase of more than 30%. Over the past two years, Maotai Town has made outstanding achievements in population and family planning, infrastructure construction, education, social affairs, medical and health care, social stability, non-public economy, urban management, spiritual civilization construction and political civilization construction, and all social undertakings have made overall progress.
Maotai Town has many gold-lettered signboards, such as "National Key Town for Village and Town Construction, National Pilot Town for Comprehensive Reform, National Demonstration Town for Small Town Construction, National Excellent Investment Environment, National Pilot Town for Fiscal System Reform, and National Top 100 Towns for Scientific Construction".
According to historical records, in 135 BC, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered Tang Meng to go to South Vietnam. After drinking the soy sauce produced in South Vietnam (now Renhuai County where Maotai Town is located), Tang Meng brought the wine back to Chang 'an, which was praised by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, leaving the legend that "Tang Meng drank soy sauce and became a yelang". According to the records of the old Zunyi House in the Qing Dynasty, during the Daoguang period, "Maotai burned no less than 20 houses and paid no less than 20,000 stone for food." 1843, the poet Zheng Zhen in Qing Dynasty praised Maotai as "the country of Guizhou people with wine crown". Before 1949, the output of Moutai declined, and there were only three wineries, namely "Cheng Yi Winery" funded by Hua surname, which was called "Hua Mao"; The Ronghe Wine Room sponsored by Wang Xing is called Elvis Presley. Hengxing Brewery funded by Lai Xing is called "Lai Mao". Hua Mao is the predecessor of Maotai.
Moutai is known as the "national wine". It has the characteristics of clear and transparent color, mellow fragrance, soft entrance, crisp and sweet taste and lasting fragrance. People call the unique fragrance of Moutai "Maoxiang", which is the most perfect example of China's maotai-flavor style.
19 15, Moutai won the gold medal in Panama World Expo and is world-renowned; Once/kloc-won the international gold medal 0/4 times, and won the gold medal in previous national famous wine competitions, which sold well all over the world. Since then, Kweichow Moutai has enjoyed a worldwide reputation. It was rated as a famous wine in the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th national wine tasting in China and won the Golden Shield medal.
In founding ceremony and Zhou Enlai 1949, Moutai was designated as the national banquet wine in founding ceremony, and then it was designated as the national day reception wine every year. In the Geneva peace talks, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Japan and other historic events, Moutai has become a special medium to melt the historical ice. Party and state leaders have given Moutai as a national gift to foreign leaders countless times.
In 2003, the output of Maotai liquor exceeded 1 10,000 tons, realizing the desire of President Mao Zedong and Premier Zhou Enlai to produce 1 10,000 tons per year. Maotai Company has successively developed Maotai in 80 years, 50 years, 30 years, 15 years, and series of Maotai in 53 degrees, 43 degrees, 38 degrees and 33 degrees. , introduced moutai prince wine, Maotai welcome wine and other medium and high-priced Maotai-flavor wines. The latest Shenzhou wine and the famous wine specially made for China army have formed a multi-variety and all-round development pattern.
[Edit this paragraph] Maotai culture
Moutai is one of the three famous wines in the world, with a history of more than 800 years. 19 15 won the gold medal and certificate of Panama World Expo. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Moutai won many awards and sold well all over the world. Known as the world famous wine, "the light of the motherland."
The water used for brewing Maotai liquor is mainly from Chishui River, and the water quality is very good. The wine distilled with this slightly sweet and insoluble impurity is especially sweet. Therefore, poets in the Qing Dynasty once praised Chishui River with the chant of "gathering spiritual springs in one body and gathering clear water in the east".
Maotai Town also has a very special natural environment and climate conditions. It is located in the lowest basin in Guizhou Plateau, only 440 meters above sea level, far away from the plateau airflow, with dense clouds all day long. The high temperature of 35 ~ 39℃ lasts for five months in summer, and most of the year is shrouded in hot and humid rain and fog. This special climate, water quality and soil conditions are very conducive to the fermentation and maturity of wine materials, and also play a decisive role in the generation and refinement of microorganisms and the increase and decrease of aroma components in Moutai. It can be said that if we leave the special climatic conditions here, some aroma components in the wine will not be produced at all, and the taste of the wine will be lacking. This is why for a long time, the manufacturers of Maotai-flavor liquor in the surrounding areas of Maotai Town or in some parts of the country have tried their best to imitate Moutai without success. The traditional production method of Moutai can only be carried out in a small place in Fiona Fang, Maotai Town, in order to create this exquisite and incomparable good wine.
Moutai liquor cellar construction is also quite particular. From the site selection, the direction of the pit area and the space height, to the temperature and humidity control, air permeability, the form and capacity of the wine cylinder and the mud sealing technology of the cylinder mouth, it is very strict. These are the keys to the ripening of finished wine and the improvement of aroma purity. Every day, someone should check the wine cellar, open and close the ventilation holes and control the temperature and humidity. It is said that even those who guard the wine cellar must dress neatly and have good conduct, and are not allowed to swear and make noise in the wine cellar, otherwise it will affect the quality of the wine. Of course, people's general clothes, words and deeds are not necessarily related to the quality of wine, which only reflects people's respect and admiration for Moutai and their good wishes to encourage people to be kind and brew good wine.
The high quality of Moutai has remained unchanged for many years. The national evaluation reception summarized the style of Kweichow Moutai as "outstanding sauce flavor, elegant and delicate, full-bodied and long aftertaste". Its aroma components reach more than 1 10, and the empty cup will last for a long time after drinking. Some people praised it for its charm of "three families next door are drunk and open a bottle ten miles after the rain". Maotai liquor is fragrant but not bright. It never adds any spices in the brewing process, and all aroma components are naturally formed in the process of repeated fermentation. Its alcohol content has been stable at 52 ~ 54, which is the lowest among the famous white spirits in China for a long time. Never add a drop of water when blending, but use wine to blend wine. So the poor magpie voted? It's not easy to copy yo ⑽ ⒒ Beer ⒕ в? Are you hurt? Acetylene blanket? Planting Huai, punishing Zhao and being a woman? 爻 γ? Are you a prostitute? ⒋俳? ⒁媸傺?а孿 Twin Palace 勖寘嫲? a target = _ blank href =/view/ 17507 . htm & gt。 Vodka is delicious and has the characteristics of no sore throat, no headache, relieving fatigue and calming the spirit. "He also said that at the Geneva Conference from 65438 to 0954, there were" two sets "that helped him succeed: one was Maotai and the other was the movie Butterfly Lovers, which was shown there at that time. During the meeting, Premier Zhou used this wine and film to entertain foreign heads of state and delegations attending the meeting. Former US President Nixon once praised "Moutai can cure all diseases". Former Japanese Prime Minister tanaka kakuei praised Moutai as a "fine wine". The masses, compatriots in Hong Kong, Macao and overseas Chinese regard Moutai as a good gift for relatives and friends, and regard it as "national wine", "diplomatic wine" and gift wine.
The brewing technology of Moutai is called "a must for all time". Maotai liquor has a set of production processes different from other liquors, and the production cycle is 7 months. Distilled wine is stored in the warehouse for more than 4 years, and then mixed with aged wine stored for 20 years, 10 years, 8 years, 5 years, 30 years and 40 years. Finally, it is inspected and tasted, and then bottled for sale.
At first, the bottles used to hold Moutai were made of local jars. From the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, it was changed into a ceramic jar with a small bottom, a small mouth and a big belly. According to the present situation, there are models with 0.5 kg, 1 kg, 1.5 kg. Later, it was once changed into a slightly flat rectangular wine bottle. After 19 15, it was changed into a cylindrical yellow ceramic glaze bottle with a small body and a long mouth. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was changed to white ceramic bottles and milky white glass bottles that people now see, which are antique and simple and generous.
The trademark of Moutai was originally printed in woodcut, but the word "Kweichow Moutai" was written in a petal-shaped pattern in regular script. Later it was changed to continuous history paper lead printing. Trademark naming: Cheng Yi pub is "Shuangde brand", Ronghe pub is "Maisui brand" and Hengshi pub is "Shan Ying brand". 1952 was changed to "workers and peasants". 1954 is divided into two trademarks: the domestic brand is "Golden Wheel Brand" (also known as "Gongnong Brand") and the export brand is "Feixian Brand". During the Cultural Revolution, it was once changed to "Sunflower Card", and then it was restored to "Golden Wheel Card" and "Feixian Card", which have been in use ever since.
Maotai liquor won five national famous wine gold medals in succession, and achieved five consecutive domestic gold medals and four consecutive international gold medals (including Asia Star Packaging Award and the third world advertising first prize). The output has increased year by year and sold to more than 50 countries and regions.

[Edit this paragraph] Maotai characteristics
Green maotai
Maotai liquor is one of the few products that have passed the green food certification in China liquor industry. It has a unique green brewing environment and a unique green traditional brewing technology. On this basis, we not only put forward higher requirements for its internal quality, but also put forward higher requirements for external packaging quality. We must start with raw materials, ensure that every link is pollution-free, pollution-free and non-toxic, and keep up with international environmental protection food standards persistently and strictly. Today, Maotai Group has passed the organic food certification and ISO 1400 1 environmental management system certification, which makes
Maotai liquor and its series products are more in line with consumers' consumption trends and requirements of "green, environmental protection, health and nature".
Humanistic maotai
Maotai has a brewing history of more than 2,000 years, which was recorded in Sima Qian's Historical Records in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. As an important maritime terminal, it also presents the grand occasion of "Qin merchants gather in Maotai and Shu salt goes to Guizhou". 19 15, Moutai won the gold medal in Panama World Expo in one fell swoop, leaving the legend of "smashing the bottle angrily and shaking the national prestige" and becoming one of the world famous wine industries; Since the founding of New China, it has played a special role in China's political and diplomatic life, and is well-deserved as the "national wine". It can be said that every small "profile" has a touching historical story, with profound cultural heritage, cultural accumulation and humanistic value. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Moutai was permanently collected by the Chinese History Museum because of its rich historical and cultural connotations. Become an outstanding representative of "cultural wine" in China.
Technology maotai
Moutai is a traditional product, but Maotai Group has always attached importance to scientific and technological progress. It has established a liquor research institute and technical center for decades, and has a first-class research team in China liquor industry (including several members of national and provincial liquor evaluation and supervision committees). In the future, the technological content and blending technology of Moutai should be further improved. Whether it is the product itself, packaging materials, anti-counterfeiting, etc. New materials, new equipment and new technologies should be widely used to make the products become the crystallization of concentrated high technology at home and abroad and achieve the perfect unity of art and technology. People can feel the charm of high technology and enjoy the beauty as soon as they pick it up and open it.
[Edit this paragraph] The secret that Moutai can't be cloned.
Maotai liquor is the originator of China Maotai-flavor Daqu liquor, which is deeply loved by the world. Known as national wine, gift wine and diplomatic wine. It has the characteristics of outstanding sauce flavor, elegant and delicate, mellow and rich, long aftertaste and lasting fragrance in empty cups. Its excellent quality and unique style are unmatched by other liquors.
The first secret: unique geographical environment
Maotai liquor is named after it is produced in Maotai Town on the Chishui River in northern Guizhou. Because Maotai Town is located in the river valley, the wind speed is low, which is very conducive to the habitat and reproduction of microorganisms brewing Moutai. In the sixties and seventies of last century, experts from all over the country used the technology and raw materials of Moutai, pit mud, and even workers and technicians produced in different places, and the products produced could not achieve the same effect. It also fully proves that Moutai is closely related to the place of origin, and Moutai cannot be cloned. Therefore, Moutai became the first product in China to be included in geographical protection of origin in 200 1 year.
The second secret: the unique red tassel sorghum
The sorghum used in the production of Moutai is waxy sorghum, commonly known locally as red tassel sorghum. Different from the sorghum in Northeast China, this kind of sorghum has solid, full and uniform grains, small skin thickness, amylopectin content of more than 88%, and glassy cross section, which is very beneficial to the repeated baking of Maotai liquor, so that the nutritional consumption of Maotai liquor in each round has a reasonable range. Sorghum used for Moutai has a thick skin and is rich in 2%-2.5% tannin. Precursors such as catechuic acid, vanillin and ferulic acid are formed in the fermentation process, and finally the unique aromatic compounds and polyphenols of Moutai are formed. The formation of these organic compounds is closely related to the sorghum and local microbial flora of Moutai, and it is also an important factor for the elegant, delicate, mellow and long aftertaste of Moutai. It is particularly worth mentioning that Moutai is rich in certain polyphenols, which will not harm the liver if drunk in moderation, and can also treat diseases such as diabetes and colds.
The third secret: the complicated brewing process
If Moutai has a unique region and special raw materials, it is natural, then the unique brewing process of Moutai is the ingenuity of craftsmen. The characteristics of Maotai craft can be summarized as three highs and three lengths.
The "three highs" in the production of Moutai refer to high-temperature koji-making, high-temperature stacking fermentation and high-temperature distillation. The temperature of Moutai Daqu during fermentation is as high as 63℃, which is higher than any other famous liquor 10- 15℃. In the whole fermentation process of Daqu, the species of environmental microorganisms can be optimized, and finally a microbial system with high temperature resistance and aroma production can be formed. In the process of making Daqu, the advantages and disadvantages should be achieved first. High-temperature stacking fermentation is the most classic and original work of open fermentation in China liquor production, which is also not available in other famous liquor processes. High-temperature distilled liquor: the distillation process itself is a solid-liquid separation technology, but the distillation in the production process of Moutai is completely different from other liquors.
The "three long" in Maotai liquor technology mainly refers to the long production cycle of Maotai base liquor; Daqu has a long storage time; Maotai base liquor has a long history. The production cycle of Maotai-flavor liquor is as long as one year, which requires two feeds, nine distillations, eight fermentations and seven distillations, and it lasts for one year in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Other famous wines only take a few months or ten days. Moutai Daqu can be stored for up to 6 months before it can be used in koji-making production, which is 3-4 months longer than other liquors, and plays an important role in improving the quality of Moutai base liquor. The amount of Daqu is 4-5 times that of other liquors. Generally, Moutai should be blended for more than three years. Through storage, liquor can be more mellow and delicious, rich in high-boiling substances, and can better reflect the value of Moutai, which is a feature that other fragrant liquors do not have.
The seasonal production of Maotai liquor technology means that the production technology of Maotai liquor has strong seasonality. The production of Maotai liquor is required to be carried out in accordance with the Double Ninth Festival of the ninth lunar month, which is completely different from the characteristics that other liquors can be produced at any time. The feeding of Chongyang in September is based on the harvest season of sorghum; Second, it should conform to the local climate characteristics of Maotai; Thirdly, avoiding the production season with high nutrition and high temperature, it is convenient to manually control the fermentation process, cultivate favorable microbial systems and selectively use natural microorganisms; Fourthly, the Double Ninth Festival in September is the festival for the elderly in China, which symbolizes eternity and embodies the traditional culture of the Chinese nation.
[Edit this paragraph] How to distinguish the authenticity of Moutai?
How to distinguish the authenticity of Moutai liquor on the market now? We know how to look at bottles, caps, tastes and so on. Also, you can make a phone call, but I heard that there are anti-counterfeiting and fake phones now. How do we know?
Identify the authenticity of Kweichow Moutai.
Moutai is a famous wine in China, which enjoys a high reputation at home and abroad. Maotai Distillery was established in Maotai Town, Renhuai County, Guizhou Province 1704.
The sensory identification method of Moutai is as follows:
(1) manufacturer's identification
Maotai Distillery is not associated with any other manufacturer, nor does it share the trademark licensing right with any manufacturer, nor does it set up a factory, a second factory or a branch factory. Any "Maotai" marked as joint venture factory, factory, branch factory and branch factory is definitely fake.
(2) Identification of registered trademarks
The whole bottle of Moutai is labeled with the registered trademark of Kweichow Moutai, which is printed with imported 100g steel paper. The trademark paper specification of a 500ml volumetric bottle is 90mm× 125mm. The logo of domestic wine merchants is divided into three parts: there is a 60 mm wide white diagonal belt in the middle from the upper right to the lower left, and there are two thin black lines and four thick black lines on the upper and lower sides respectively, with the red words "Kweichow Moutai" in the middle. There is a gold bar with a width of 13 mm at the junction of the diagonal bar and the upper left corner, and there are four black characters "Famous at home and abroad" on it. There is a red color block in the upper left corner, and there is a white circle with a diameter of 35 mm in the middle. There are annular ears of wheat, golden gears and red five-pointed stars from top to bottom in the circle. There is a thin gold thread at the junction of the diagonal belt and the lower right corner. On the red color block in the lower right corner, there are eight white characters "Produced by China Maotai Distillery", and below the white characters, there are black characters "53% vol, 500mL" to indicate the alcohol content and capacity. The back of the bottle is 65 mm× 85 mm, with a red edge and a white edge with a width of 10 mm around it. The date of manufacture is blue Arabic numerals. The trademark is beautifully printed, with accurate colors and even trimming.
The trademark and back sticker of fake Maotai are printed on ordinary paper. The trademark specification is 100 mm× 140 mm, and the back sticker specification is133 mm× 85 mm. The colors of various patterns are confused, the levels are unclear, the colors are light, the specifications are inconsistent, and the fonts used are obviously different from the real trademarks. The date of manufacture is written in red and other colors.
(3) Identification of packaging materials
The bottle body of Moutai is a milky glass bottle, and the seal is a big red thread twisted anti-theft aluminum cover with five white words "Kweichow Moutai" on it, and the bottle mouth has no internal plug. The whole bottle of wine is wrapped in high-quality square leather paper, and the color box is packed: the outer packaging color box is made of imported white paper and corrugated. The font and color on the box are consistent with the trademark and the back sticker.
Fake "Maotai" is sealed with different shades of red rubber caps, some are transparent without words, and some are fake "Maotai". The bottle cap is white and red. The cover also has different wall patterns, including yellow broken aluminum cover and plastic broken yellow aluminum cover. There are several kinds of inner plugs, such as spiral type, belt waist line and flat top. The outer packing box is made of unqualified and inferior leather paper or other materials.
(4) Identification of sensory characteristics
Maotai liquor is made of wheat, fermented for eight times and stored for two or three years before leaving the factory. Its unique sensory indicators are: white wine is colorless and transparent, mellow and sweet when drinking, without suspended matter and precipitation, outstanding aroma, elegant and delicate, full-bodied, long aftertaste and lasting fragrance in empty cups. Fake "Maotai" is mostly made of sorghum wine, white dry wine and mixed wine. And it is difficult to have the characteristics of color, fragrance and taste of Maotai.
The Origin of Maotai Liquor
According to legend, the indigenous Pu people of Chishui River were good at making wine in the ancient Dayu period. In the Han dynasty, there was the "gourd sauce wine" in Maotai Town today. "Zunyi County Records" contains: Gourd sauce is the beginning of wine. Sima Qian recorded in Historical Records that in 135 BC, Tang Meng made a special trip to South Vietnam to get this wine for Chang 'an to offer to Emperor Wu, which became the beginning of Moutai coming out of the mountains. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, it gradually became the tribute wine of successive dynasties and spread overseas through the Southern Silk Road. In the Qing Dynasty, the liquor industry in Maotai Town flourished, and famous wines such as "Maotai Spring", "Maotai Burning Spring" and "Sha Tong Maotai" were well known. According to the records of the old Zunyi House in the Qing Dynasty, during the Daoguang period, "Maotai burned no less than 20 houses and paid no less than 20,000 stone for food." 1843, the poet Zheng Zhen in Qing Dynasty praised Maotai as "the country of Guizhou people with wine crown". Before 1949, the output of Moutai declined, and there were only three wineries, namely "Cheng Yi Winery" funded by Hua surname, which was called "Hua Mao"; The Ronghe Wine Room sponsored by Wang Xing is called Elvis Presley. Hengxing Brewery funded by Lai Xing is called "Lai Mao". Hua Mao is the predecessor of Maotai. 1704, Zhuosheng Shaofang officially named its wine Maotai.
19 15, in the name of "maotai company", Beiyang government sent maotai packaged in pottery altar to Panama World Expo, which was ignored by outsiders. A China official threw a crock on the ground in a hurry. Suddenly, the smell of wine was so strong that four seats were dumbfounded, and Maotai finally won the championship.
1949 On the eve of founding ceremony, Huairentang meeting in Zhongnanhai decided to use Moutai for the state banquet in founding ceremony. Since then, Moutai has played a pivotal and unique role in China's political and diplomatic life, with many stories.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Moutai has been presented as a national gift to foreign leaders in numerous major events. Since ancient times, countless literati yearned for and praised Maotai. It is no exaggeration to say that every tiny "side" of Moutai contains rich human and historical stories, which have profound cultural accumulation and humanistic value. Just like a fragrant business card issued by China to the world, the figurative Moutai and abstract "humanity" let the world know themselves with intoxicating fragrance, and at the same time, they also show the charm and charm of Chinese wine culture to the world to let the world know the culture of China and China.
Maotai uses high-quality sorghum as raw material and wheat as high-temperature koji, but the amount of koji used is more than raw material. Unique techniques, such as using more koji, long fermentation period, multiple fermentations and taking wine for many times, are the important reasons for the unique style and excellent quality of Moutai. Maotai liquor is made by adding raw sand twice, fermenting eight times and distilling nine times. The production cycle is as long as eight or nine months, and after more than three years of aging, blending and storage for another year, the quality of liquor is more harmonious, mellow and soft, and it can be bottled before leaving the factory. The whole production process lasted nearly five years.
Maotai liquor is a typical maotai-flavor Daqu liquor with the most perfect style, so maotai-flavor liquor is also called maotai-flavor liquor. Its wine is bright, transparent, yellowish, with outstanding Maotai flavor, intoxicating, full of fragrance without opening a cup, leaving a bigger fragrance and lasting after drinking an empty cup. Elegant and delicate taste, mellow and mellow, long aftertaste, endless aftertaste. Maotai liquor is pure, transparent and mellow, and consists of three special flavors: sauce flavor, cellar bottom flavor and mellow sweetness. At present, there are more than 300 known aroma components. Alcohol is 53 degrees. Chen Yi has a poem: "When Jinling meets again, we will drink Maotai and wash our feet thousands of miles away. I am deeply grateful for the story told in the poem, and the snow crushed a glass of wine in Jiangnan. "
